Trinidad and To­ba­go’s Am­bas­sador to Cari­com, Ralph Maraj, is urg­ing the re­gion­al body to re­spond to what he de­scribes as se­ri­ous pro­ce­dur­al con­cerns sur­round­ing the reap­point­ment of its Sec­re­tary Gen­er­al, warn­ing that con­tin­ued si­lence risks un­der­min­ing con­fi­dence in the in­sti­tu­tion.

Maraj said there has been no re­sponse from Cari­com de­spite ob­jec­tions raised by Prime Min­is­ter Kam­la Per­sad-Bisses­sar and a for­mal state­ment in Par­lia­ment by For­eign and Cari­com Af­fairs Min­is­ter Sean Sobers.
